How I decorate each year changes based on my mood, weather, etc… so it will never be the same twice! EXCEPT for the 1st picture the other pictures are Christmases past. The remodel is almost done and at least we have a FULL tree this year. As for us, we PREFER real trees, but last year we decided with the remodel to break down and buy an artificial tree. SHHH don’t tell hubby, but I really love this tree. Next year we’ll have a real tree again. We figure we actually saved money and can donate the tree to the women’s shelter too.

We made candle yule logs for Advent craft night at church one year and they were a HUGE success and soooooooo easy to do.
These are a few of my new favorites.
